The 1992 Major League Baseball All-Star Game was the 63rd playing of the midsummer classic between the all-stars of the American League (AL) and National League (NL), the two leagues comprising Major League Baseball. The game was held on July 14, 1992, at Jack Murphy Stadium in San Diego, the home of the San Diego Padres of the National League. The game resulted in the American League defeating the National League 13–6.

In the eighth inning, Charles Nagy became the only pitcher to get a hit in an All-Star Game in the designated hitter era. It was a single, and he scored a few batters later.

This was the second All-Star Game to be held in San Diego and the final one at Jack Murphy Stadium. The next Midsummer Classic to be hosted by the Padres would come in 2016 at Petco Park.
